The NRF Foundation provides the skills and resources needed for life-changing careers. Since 2015, the NRF Foundation Honors has raised the funds that fuel our retail training and retail scholarships that launch and support retail careers.
From the most coveted award in retail, The Visionary, to our annual List of People Shaping Retail's Future to our scholarship recipients, our RISE Up Partner of the Year, and our new Store Leader Spotlight, the NRF Foundation Honors celebrates the retail professionals who are sparking innovation and inspiring incredible change. In 2026, more than 700 guests — including 38 CEOs and more than 220 C-Suite members — joined us.
